Located in the heart of New Orleans' Central Business District,
the Hilton New Orleans/St Charles Avenue French Quarter Area hotel is just
three blocks off Canal Street and just four blocks from the world famous
French Quarter/Bourbon Street. This landmark building was originally built
in 1926 as the Masonic Temple and was the second high-rise to be built in
the Central Business District.
The hotel is currently undergoing an $11 million
renovation and will re-emerge in early 2007 as the Crescent City's
newest, upscale, premier hotel experience. The architecture, exquisite
woodwork and other design detail from the artisans of the 1920s is evident
throughout the hotel and highlighted by the original chandeliers at the
main entrance, original marble floors and walls, and the elaborate, hand-crafted
inlay tile ceiling in the Grand Entry Hall. |
